Sunday evening June 28th several gathered at Heartland Baptist Fellowship to enjoy the graduation of Lauren Stoval from Heartland Bible Institute. Pastor Tom Brockmeyer of Harvest Baptist Church in Blues Springs Missouri, delivered the commencement address. His message was a great challenge not to be like Gad and Reuben and settle for less than God's best.
Lauren Coen and her husband Chris addressed those in attendance and Pastor and Dean of Academic Studies, Randy Foster certified Lauren as a graduate of Heartland Bible Institute.
In accordance with the graduation requirmeents, Lauren completed a dissertation on ministery to single women. Her work was reviewed by the instructors of Heartland Bible Instituted and she defended her thesis succesfully. Pastor Randy Foster and Pastor Brian Hedges both reccomend her work be read by all in ministry as it is very insightful and applicable to every ministry. A copy will be provided for checking out in the HBF library.
We are taking applications for enrollment in HBI now as classes start in August.
